“As a first-time professional hockey coach, I bring a passion for the game, a commitment to player development, and a team-first mindset,” Soper said. “My coaching philosophy is built on accountability, preparation, and creating an environment where athletes can compete at their highest level while continuing to grow both on and off the ice.”

Team name and logo coming July 22.

I do wonder if the light/dark blue in the graphic is a hint on the color scheme.

Those colors are correct. Here is a preview of the mascot.

Lord if that's for real there are a bunch of people that are going to be gagging from that name. My ex absolutely despised that word.

Let's tell it like it is too ...

There should be no reason for any place in Louisiana to have a fricking hockey team

That's the most anti-hockey place on earth

It would be perfect If they change the mascot to a bloody, bullet-ridden t-shirt.

Entirely incorrect.

You mean as LSU becomes a recognized collegiate team by the NCAA instead of solely club this upcoming season? As Monroe has had tremendous success in attendance (that would put them mid-tier for ECHL attendance)?

There is a a hockey community in Louisiana, you just don’t know what you’re talking about.

I have an easy solution for this - rename the team to "Baton Rouge Traffic" - you can keep that stupid arse bridge as the background on the logo but change the colors to yellow and red to resemble the Google Maps traffic flow colors. It something silly that the entire region can get behind and laugh a bit. I would 100% do it if I owned that team.

You clearly don’t understand hockey in Louisiana. It’s okay. Just stop talking about what you don’t understand.

Andreas Johansson isn’t involved with the BR team because it’s not a profitable and successful market at this level

Seawolves are dead because of a-hole ownership. The rest TBD

You fricking clown. There s a reason all of the teams have failed, several in each city. Its over!
Done

Guys like you are some sort of non athlete pityluful fat guys.

The goal of the team, is for the best players to be called up to high divisions. How in fuking earth would you pay for a business model that takes the best items out of the store
